The series marked the 12¢b | time that Japan's Davis Cup aspira- tions have been ruined. Capt. Anderson gave a remarkable exhibition of masterly tennis that brought thrills to the 4,000 specta- tors.

The fans will now divide themselves into rival camps until the senior is settled. The Davis and Hussars will have lots of cheers, {or and agains), when they clash on Tuesday and Thursday. The advantages of a aity agua" may now be apparent to those people who imagined the "Big Four" furnished the only baseball on earth.
